The Listener is a Canadian science fiction drama set in Toronto about a young paramedic named Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik) with the ability to hear people's most intimate thoughts.
The series was created by Michael Amo and is produced by Shaftesbury Films for CTV and Fox International Channels.
[2] Production for the second season began almost a year after the announcement of the renewal, in September 2010, and was scheduled to end February 2011.
The program was popular enough on ION that the network broadcast all available episodes and became partners with Shaftesbury, CTV, and Fox International in the production of the series.
According to an ION press release, the program has averaged over 1 million viewers per episode in the USA since the network began broadcasting it.
